SPENNYMOOR Town manager Graeme Lee looked beyond his side’s FA Trophy final heartache after the Moors fell to a Wembley defeat against Aldershot Town.

- By MARK CARRUTHERS

After a goalless and tight first half, goals from Jack Barham, Dan Ellison and Josh Barrett took the Shots out of sight and left Lee to focus on the positives both he and his club can take from their magical run to Wembley.

He told The Journal: "We have had unbelievable moments throughout this cup run, to equalise in the 95th minute at Rochdale to take it to penalties and help us get here, you have those moments and today just wasn’t ours.

"We have to build each year, we want to progress each year, we have progressed our points tally again, we've just missed out on the play offs again with 76 points.

"This cup run has been an unbelievable achievement and to get here to Wembley, nobody in a million years would have backed us to do.

"There’s people like Glen Taylor, who has been here for years, and it gets an opportunity to play at Wembley in the Trophy.

"For us to do that, for those lads to earn that moment, it's just unbelievable."
